i love you and Cris the Girl, not in a weird way, I am just older and really really love your videos, they help me so immensely on a mental basis, life has grown boring in some ways, but your travel videos and all your Florida Videos are just so entertaining and you and Cris the Girl are genuine and real and such nice nice people. I love Bella too, she is so cute. Thanks so much for all you three do. Chris
My same feelings. I'm 64 and I find their videos entertaining and charming.😁💗💞💕
This makes our day Chris! Thanks for joining us and living vicariously threw out experiences. I am very grateful for you. Much ahead my friend.
Ditto!
It's a great escape for me as well. CHRIS THE Girl has amazing hair. I wAnna know what kinda shampoo she uses lol
Couldn’t have said it better! I can’t travel because my husband has become disabled in recent years and I miss road trips SO much!! Especially TN😍loved and miss our road trips there SO much! Jay and Cris are so enjoyable, genuine and easy to watch♥️Honestly feel like I know them😎
Cris doing the outro " Know you're awesome... know you're loved .. and know there's much ahead* . Glad y'all made it back home safe and sound ❤️❤️
Thank you Russ appreciate you watching man
Biggest wonderful cave l ever seen thanks Mr Jay
Awesome video. I've lived around Chattanooga my whole life, and I haven't been to Ruby Falls in 20 years. I'm slacking lol. The next time you guys come through Tennessee, check out The Lost Sea in Sweetwater. Glad you all had an awesome weekend.
Nice to see Ruby Falls again! Thanks for all the memories your video triggered!
Thank you!
Mornin Jay, Gatlinburg and Chattanooga. So happy you and Cris got to enjoy these beautiful places in Tn. I live in Nashville. Safe travels.
Wow, that place is simply amazing! Looks like something out of a movie. Reminds me of Journey to the Center of the Earth. I love it. ❤
Hey Tampa Jay and Chris the girl! I went to ruby falls a couple years ago for the first time. Nice place. Stay warm!
Always wanted to go to the falls and lookout,only seen it from the highway. Thanks for taking us with you!🤠
Nice, I saw Jackie Super Enthused went there earlier this year and loved it, hope you two love it too!
Amazing video! Ruby Falls is one of my favorite places to go in Tn. Me and my ex went back in 2019 and had a wonderful time.
Loved Ruby Falls and Lookout Mountain! This brought back great memories!
Jay-Would love to visit Ruby Falls one day. Enjoying your adventures with Cris. Have an awesome week & give Bella extra treats!😊💕
Tampa Jay, I want to share something with you and Cris. Back in 2013 I became very sick. I had bronchitis, deep chest congestion, and I went to the doctor three separate times. I stayed at home for over a month and a half with this sickness. I only was able to go to the doctor those three times. I missed a month and a half of church because of it. I experienced a touch of claustrophobia, which I had never had throughout my life. My wife and I went through the Florida Caverns in Marianna, Florida back in the 80s. Now, I gave you that background to say this: my daughter and I went to Ruby Falls back in 2018. I was excited to be going down in the cavern. So I thought. We got on the elevator and went down to the bottom. We walked around the curved path to a waiting area, and the tour guide told us all to wait there until she went back up and got another group for the tour. As I was standing there with the very low ceiling, I looked around and all of a sudden it hit me. That feeling of claustrophobia hit me and I began to feel enclosed as if I was trapped. I told my daughter that I could not stay down there. We were talking with another woman and she told me that my daughter could stay with her. That she would take care of her. My daughter is in her 20s. So I ran around the curved path to the tour guide and I told her I could not stay down there, that I HAD to get out. She was trained very well. She got me over the the elevator, past the other guests standing there and told me to get on the elevator and to stand in a certain spot. I did. I had never felt like that before. That ride up on the elevator was the longest ride I had ever been on, so it seemed. When I got to the top and the door opened, I got off and was back in the building and what a relief I felt. The tour guide told me to go to the ticket counter and tell one of the staff that I took the short tour. I did as she told me and the woman gave me back all of my ticket money except for $5.00. Afterward, I realized what that meant. By telling the ticket people that you took the short tour, that is a code from the tour guide, telling the ticket person, that the person began to panic, or at least feeling claustrophobic and had to get out. That code indicated to the ticket person that the person did not take the full tour, and so they only charged $5 because technically I did go down the elevator and I did see a small portion of the tour, even if it was just the beginning. So I got my refund and went to the cafe and got something to calm myself down. I waited for my daughter to get back up from the tour, by walking to the observation deck, looking in the gift shop, and just sitting and people watching. I have never experienced anything like that before. I wanted to share that with yall, since yall did go all the way through the tour. I watched the entire video and I liked being able to see on your video, what I did not get to see in person. This is one of many reasons why people like you and Cris are putting up videos. For people like me that experienced an unfortunate situation in the past, and then getting to see what I had to bypass, on your videos. Now here's one last part: that same day, we also had pre-purchased tickets to go and walk through Rock City, just a few short miles away. When we started walking down and got down into the needle's eye tight squeeze, and then into the caves and inside the huge boulders, I was perfectly fine. I walked through the entire thing, where the gnomes were, and the nursery rhyme section and I never felt anything like I did at Ruby Falls. I enjoyed that a lot. So I felt to share this with yall. I have started vlogging myself, and we plan on taking a day trip back up to Chattanooga and going through Rock City again, and this time I'll video it and post it on my channel. All of yall that I watch regularly from you and Cris to Adam The Woo, World Of Micah, Tim Tracker, Jackie from Super Enthused, Scott On Tape, Grimm Life Collective, and even two separate people from PIgeon Forge, have really inspired me to start vlogging myself. So I will be going to lots of places here in Georgia and vlogging them, and when we come down to Disney and Universal. I would love for yall to subscribe to my channel and start watching my videos. My name is Darel, and I am thecoolestdad. Thanks yall.
I was in Blue Ridge and Ellijay yesterday. Passed the Big Foot Expedition and thought of yall. Haven't watched this one yet. Looking forward to it.
Thank you!! Enjoyed the mountains with ya'll 💕!!!!
Thank you for joining us
Tampa Jay ( and Cris the Girl) I have enjoyed your trip and the videos. I love the caves. I have been in one in Carlsbad, New Mexico and one in Georgetown, Texas.
Sorry I had to watch some of these late. We had a bad storm come through last night... Stay safe. Have a blessed week at work. Much love 💕
Hi hope your well . Made it to be 1st to like . Your vlogg. Haha. Now I will watch it . 🍻 cheers
Hello from Gatlinburg TN...I was hoping you guys would be here in town ..oh well! Be safe
Enjoyed your TN road trip SO much, as most of your trips😎As always, Thanks for taking us along😍
I am originally from NJ but Floridian got 25 years now and I could feel how COLD you guys were🥶🤣
Nice one. I’m glad that Cris seems to like doing caves. Hopefully more will be in your future together!
At the end of the vlog. The music, oh the music. Took me back Jay, took me back.
Love caves and caverns! So cool! Glad you had a fun trip!
Nice video! I would like to visit Ruby Falls and the smokies.
Awesome idol jay..🤙
Man TJ, People are just dying to be where you started the video off at. :). Thanks TJ and Cris for another interesting vlog
Woohoo! Went here in July!!! It’s absolutely stunning and we did Rock City as well, it’s nothing like I’ve ever seen before, the most beautiful place ❤
I live about 40 minutes from Ruby Falls. I have not been there in many many years, but it’s definitely beautiful. Rock City has some beautiful views also.
You and Cris the Girl do such a great job on your videos. They are uplifting and bring so much joy to so many people during such a rough time. Thank you for all you do and keep up the great work. Take care and enjoy the holidays.
The Road Trip back to FL..Awesome 👍
Thanks for the video. Ruby Falls is beautiful.
Thank you Linda
Awesome video. I live on the outskirts of Chattanooga so it was cool watching this. Always enjoy your videos.
Ok I'll need to revisit Ruby Falls eventually. You had me at the beer on tap. Lol.
I went to Ruby Falls on my 26th birthday. I loved it.
Thanks for visiting man. Come by Chattanooga area more often.
There is an Anna Ruby Falls in Helen Georgia. Nice video.
Nice shots of Ruby Falls!
I enjoyed Ruby Falls 👍🏼
Thank you
Been up to the top of Lookout Mountain to the National Park where the Civil War battle was. That battle was called 'Battle Above the Clouds" because they were above the clouds during the battle. The view from up there is even more amazing than from the observation deck at Ruby Falls. I did not get to tour that cave but have been in several other caves. We live about 10 minutes away from Indiana Caverns which is very nice, and even closer to Squire Boone Caverns. You need to come to this area!
Very cool!
Loved this and the sTp playing at the end! I think Buc-ees had the best and most private bathrooms, especially with the volume of people lol. Thankful for you two and your continued success on these super awesome videos!
Ruby falls looks amazing. I’m not sure I can make it through all those tight walkways, but those falls still look breathtaking. I’m hoping to go to Lookout Mountain in the near future, so I’m looking forward to that.
Very fun video, well done
A great job Jay you made me feel like I was there.Well done.
Thanks for coming with us Sean
Visited Ruby falls when I was a kid with my parents. Watching your adventure there brought back some neat memories. My mom really enjoyed seeing that again in your video. Take care and safe travels you two!
Thanks Ronald and Mom. Glad we could bring back some good memories
Another great video J. Ty
Thank you
Awesome adventure TJ! So fun 2 watch with u both having such positivity & adventurous personalities makes 4 an interesting time. I always wonder about the 1st 2 explore such caves/caverns. The waterfall was gorgeous, truly beautiful. A Deep Cavern Scented candle is needed. Were u able 2 see the Chattanooga Choo Choo from way up there?! Thx 4 taking us all along 🦃
That was an awesome video and leaving Tennessee is sad haha there’s so much to do there.
Winter says to both of you, “REMEMBER MEEE, HA HA HA!!!
A friend of mine was at the Kentucky Caves at the same time..Very Cool 😎
Awesome Cave Jay! Just imagines if there was a bacon cave or even pepperoni cave?! lol Yes you met the beaver, the myth, the legend, Bucee himself! lol
i have family in the south eastern area where you were, i was born in Cleveland Tennessee...my brother and i enjoyed our visit as well two years ago.
Enjoyed seeing your perspective of that cave! I haven't been in 20 or so years. If you guys really want to see some good caves, take a trip to Northern Arkansas/Southern Missouri! I especially would recommend Blanchard Springs (go when the Discovery Trail is open)!
Your way of remembering tites/mites is cute! Hadn't heard it before, but it's similar to how I always like to teach people (former cave guide). It also involves the spelling...Stalactite: C is for ceiling! Stalagmite: G is for ground!
Won't tell you how many decades ago that I was born there in Chattanooga but it's been a few as a matter of fact the Saturday the 19th was the day. BTW my son-n-law is a Ferguson from NC
We were just in the Townsend area in July. It was so beautiful there. The parks and pull offs along the river were stunning. We have decided to move to Tennessee for our retirement, Oak Ridge area!
I Live In Chattanooga, But Never Been To Ruby Falls. I Might Want To Change That After Seeing This Video.
The last time we were there (sometime in the 80's or very early 90's) with our kids they turned the lights off briefly at the falls to illustrate how utterly dark it was down there.
Agree that publix has clean restrooms. We also stop to look for the reusable bags. I collect the out of state bags from grocery stores, but love the state publix ones,:)
Great video buddy! Looks like an awesome cave. I went to one in Sweetwater Tennessee back in the 90's called the Lost Sea Adventure.
Thanks buddy. I’ve been to the lost sea adventure. We actually almost went there instead. Love the caves
such a fun adventure in TN, ruby falls is super pretty i need to go there someday being here in my neck of the woods but its quite a drive from me... so we will see lol
Freakin sick! The red lights giving me the decent movie vibes
Such a sick movie! Love the 2nd one too
Love you guys my fav location
Another way to remember the difference between stalagmites and stalactites is, "When the mites go up, the tites come down!"
when you and Cris the Girl go back to Chattanooga check out the Tennessee Aquarium and log it
Think it's funny Adam was in Gatlinburg and pigeon forge then u guys came right behind! I love it.. Townsend tn. Your right next to walland tn.. there's a 5star resort hotel down a shitty country road right up from the 2 big buildings with the red roofs called black berry farm hotel chateu.. I worked there for 2 years.. couldn't believe that it was there... blew my mind ... rock city and ruby falls is awesome.. Chattanooga tn..lol
You should come visit Mammoth Cave here in KY. It's amazing.
❤️
There’s people who-w/ permission-go restore tombstones & give a history of the person-TH-cam and Tik Tok -I ❤❤❤❤ it!! Very fascinating!!!
That was cool but spooky
I’m new to your channel. Good stuff! You guys are a sweet couple!
Thank you and welcome I appreciate you joining us vicariously. So kind of you.
Man you were in my neck of the woods. I am good for Incline and Rock City tickets if you want
Nice Goonies well reference in the cave, lol
Thanks glad you caught that
👍🙏⚡🤠
Have y'all been to Watkins Glen in NY
You are very brave...lol..I wouldnt allow my dead body in that elevator!
Smokee Bear 🐻🍯
Did they turn off the lights for a few seconds to show you just how dark it gets in there? They use to do that back 35 years ago.
So cool but a little too claustrophobic for my taste Thanks for the adventures. Happy holidays
MANGO🕶✌️
You rock buddy
No heater in ur car. Oh that's rough.
I'm getting claustrophobic and I'm not even there.
No Michael in the graveyard because evil never dies!
BLAHHAHA good one buddy
Poor jay i think its time to sell the Jetta and get u something else
Peace and land treaties what a joke.
FD: my PH condo in Toronto is 26 stories up (no 13th floor)// but our elevators do not possess a see thru door. they do have a female voice, to tell the users what floor the elevator has stopped at. LOLO
the WARNING (please do not use smoking products while in the cave LOL should include to all folks, 'if u are used to carrying a knife while in the dark, please put that knife away lol //
also 'pls do not set off any fire crackers the SOUND could rupture more than a couple ear drums.
thanks for going down for the LOT of us.
Then i saw the coin part 😢 jeez man
As a cave explorer and spelunking enthusiast this is heartbreaking to see what humans have done to these caverns. The "wet look" you referred to is the oils from human skin contact which permanently destroys the formation. Most formations take 100's to thousands of years to form. Couple snot nosed brats and some ignorant tourists and there goes true beauty
